--Lost Heroes Tourny--

Introduction:
Back in the days of BW OU, what most considered to be the best most balanced tier. Dozens of pokemon from the previous gen fell from grace. All bans and clause testing took priority for OU with the other tiers eating OU's waste. But the biggest complaint about OU being that everyone uses the same things. Few teams deviate from generic rain stall, sun offense, stall, sand, "non weather", hyper offense etc.

The tournament is this:
You must use at least one Pokemon with 2% usage or less on your team.

Simple enough. This tourny is to recognize users who can create a competitively successful team that uses Pokemon that aren't often used in OU.

The Rules:

You must use AT LEAST one Pokemon with OU usage 2% or less. Of course, you can pick more than one of them if you want to.

Even if someone already picked a particular Pokemon, that Pokemon can still be selected by another person.

Matches will be played using Pokémon Online.

If a D/C happens early game, both players will replay doing the same moves.

If a clear winner can't be decided when a D/C happens late game, then both players will replay their game.

Each round will last for 7 days from the time it is posted. If both players fail to meet that deadline, then the player that tried the hardest to get their team match-ups done will be awarded the win. If both players fail to be active enough to get their match-ups done, then regardless of the ability of either player, I will decide which player advances on 1 coin-flip.

Follow all general Serebii rules.

Clauses:

Wi-Fi Clause: Team Preview must be enabled for all tournament matches.

Species Clause: No two of the same Pokemon in a team.

Sleep Clause: No sleeping more than one Pokemon on the foe's side from your sleep moves.

Evasion Clause: No usage of evasion boosting moves and items such as Double Team and BrightPowder.

OHKO Clause: No usage of OHKO moves such as Horn Drill and Fissure.

Battle Timeout: If a player's timer reaches 0, he or she will lose.

Uber Clause: No usage of Uber Pokemon as labeled by Smogon.

Unreleased Clause: No usage of unreleased Pokemon. This is going back from the days of BW, whatever was unrealesed then is banned. ex. (Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, and unreleased DW Pokemon).

Only one battle .

Lastly, a Log must be posted when confirming a win or a loss to show you and your opponent used a 2% pokemon. Use this for those who don't know, it makes your battle to an animated short.

I honestly don't think so, seeing as most match ups get done during the weekend anyway.
EDIT: Also I decided to change a rule. you are no longer restricted by the pokemon you choose, as long as you show proof of using a 2% and under pokemon, its fine with me.
